25* Big Bad Baseball Bookie Buster - Colorado Rockies

The last place Diamondbacks' disastrous first two months of the season have prompted the club's ownership to consider all avenues of change, including a drastic retooling of the major league roster. Since jumping to a 20-8 start in the first month of the 2008 season, they are 152-198 (.434), losing 92 games last season. The pitching staff is the worst in the NL and things are so bad they have to start newcomer Dontrelle Willis this game. Willis has completely lost it, with a 4.98 ERA walking 29 in 43 innings, a horrible ratio. He has allowed a whopping 77 base runners in 43 innings! The Tigers were 2-5 in his last 7 starts. Colorado has had a nice run the last two weeks, including 3 wins as a dog in addition to a 5-game win streak. Starter Jhoulys Chacin has been strong all year, with a 3.62 ERA, allowing just 29 hits in 37 innings and 36 Ks. He has faced these D-Backs onec this season with a 2.57 ERA against them (a win). Play the Rockies!


Inner Circle - Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati has been a powerhouse on offense all season, tops in the NL in runs scored, third in homers and third in batting average behind Scott Rolen, Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips. 22-year old Starter Mike Leake steps in with a 4-0 mark and a 2.45 ERA, with few walks. Through ten starts in his young career, Leake's ERA has dropped to 2.45 and he does well to keep the ball in the park with a good groundball ratio. That will help in a big park like Washington and the grass infield. The same can't be said of Washington starter Luis Atilano. He may be 5-1 on the season, but his ERA of 4.70 is terrible, especially when you factor in half his games in this big park. He has more walks (21) than strikeouts (16) and in 44 innings, that's a lot of free passes. Play the Reds

25* Situational High Heat Dominator - New York Yankees

Promotion: The Yankees have been on a tear, but they are still in second place, so there is plenty of urgency. This offense wears down pitchers, first in batting average, first in hits and first in runs batted in. Veteran Andy Pettitte is quietly having a great year at 7-1. But he's not relying on the great offense to get him wins, as he has a 2.48 ERA. His last three starts: 2 walks, 12 Ks in 20 innings. He is doing everything right. Toronto is a terrific offensive park and Toronto lefty Ricky Romero has struggled in his career against the Bronx Bombers, with a 5.94 ERA against them, with 17 hits and 12 walks in 16 innings. That's a lot of base runners! Meanwhile, Pettitte is 20-12 all time against the Blue Jays. Play the NY Yankees.

MLB NEWS AND NOTES
Saturday’s Streaking And Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers Staff

Streaking

Andy Pettitte, New York Yankees

It’s easy to forget about Pettitte sometimes in the Yankees rotation. CC Sabathia is the ace (or at least he’s supposed to be), A.J. Burnett has the best stuff, Phil Hughes is the young stud and Javier Vazquez is the disappointing offseason pickup.

But all the Yanks do is win games whenever this veteran hurler takes the bump. New York is 9-1 straight up and 8-2 on the runline in Pettitte’s 10 starts this season.

Pettitte, outside of one bad outing against the Rays, has been lights out this season. He’s got quality starts in eight of his 10 appearances and owns a spiffy 2.48 ERA.

Ervin Santana, Los Angeles Angels

No one’s ever questioned Santana’s talent. When he’s on his game, there are few pitchers in the big leagues with better swing-and-miss stuff. But because he sometimes struggles getting the ball over the plate, Santana’s ascent has been a long process.

He’s in one of his good zones right now. He’s 4-0, sports a 1.86 ERA along with 28 strikeouts compared to just seven walks over his last four trips to the bump.

"His slider, I don't know if you'd call it devastating, but it was just short of devastating," Royals manager Ned Yost told the Associated Press after Santana held Kansas City to one run in seven innings of work earlier this week.

Slumping

Jake Peavy, Chicago White Sox

We’re only two months into the season but it must seem like a lot longer for this Chicago hurler. Peavy is enduring his worst year as a pro and you have to wonder how long the former Cy Young winner can keep his spot in the rotation.

Peavy’s five-inning, five-run start earlier this week marked the sixth time in 11 appearances that he’s allowed five or more runs. Total bettors will be happy to know the over is 5-0 in his last five outings and 7-1 in his last eight.

The former Padre is striking out batters at a high rate and not walking many batters, but he’s been taken out of the park seven times in his last five appearances.

“I just didn’t have very good stuff at all,” he told reporters after surrendering six earned runs to the Indians in his second to last start. “When you’re not sharp you better be good with location. I made some bad pitches early.”

Returning

Jonathon Niese, New York Mets

The Mets hope Niese’s recent stint on the 15-day disabled list will cure the lefty’s issues. Before heading to the DL, Niese pitched three straight ugly games and left his final start after just two innings and with five runs for the opposition on the board.

Niese’s return is drawing a lot of attention because the Mets wanted to send down lefty Oliver Perez to make room for Niese but Perez refused the demotion. New York ended up having to send down a contributing player for Niese to gain a spot on the roster.

HOT LINES

Saturday's Best MLB Bets

San Francisco Giants at Pittsburgh Pirates (-110, 8.5)

If the Giants are still in contention at the break, and they should be, team management will be looking to trade for a bat to place in the middle of the order.

Until then, San Francisco has turned to Pat Burrell in hopes of jumpstarting an anemic offense. But in case the Giants scouts didn’t do their jobs, they should be aware Pat the Bat is a career .253 hitter.

"It wasn't like he missed all year," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Burrell after being recalled from Triple-A. "The consensus was, he's ready."
Being “ready” is relative. Burrell was hitting .313 in 16 at-bats in the minors but in 24 games with the Rays this season, he hit .202 with two home runs and 13 RBIs – not exactly an offensive juggernaut.

The Jints have plated the fifth-fewest runs in baseball this season and have only hit 40 homers. Burrell may contribute some offensively but he won’t keep this squad from playing low-scoring games – the under has cashed in three straight.

Pick: Under


Atlanta Braves at Los Angeles Dodgers (-115, 7.5)

Step aside two-time defending NL champion Philadelphia, the Braves are the new bullies of the East.

Atlanta had won nine straight going into Friday and has only lost a fistful of games in its last 25. Veteran pitcher Tim Hudson, who has been with the Braves since 2005, says this is the best team he’s been on.

“This team that we have right here, for me, is my favorite one since I’ve been here,” Hudson said. “I feel like it’s the best team chemistry and the best personality since I’ve been here. I think our play shows the kind of baseball that we bring to the field and it’s the same kind of personality that we have in the locker room.”

Keywords such as “team chemistry” and “personality” are exactly what you want to hear as a bettor.

Atlanta is 3-0 in the last three games Tommy Hanson has started and is 8-2 in his 10 outings this season. This young stud is getting too good of odds to pass up Saturday.

Pick: Atlanta Braves

San Diego Padres vs. Philadelphia Phillies

Sign up for our newsletter at stumpthespread.com

Even though not many people are talking about the Padres having a chance at the playoffs they still hold one of the best records in the League at 32-22. Also they are going against the Phillies who have really struggled as of late to score runs. The Padres are sending out Jon Garland in this one and he has been sensational all year with a 2.15 ERA and a 6-2 record. Garland should gives the struggling Phillies batters fits as he goes for another quality start. Even though the Padres don't have a great offense I still give them a good chance at scoring runs against old Jamie Moyer who has had a better than expected year with a 4.26 ERA and a 5-5 record. Halladay had to pitch out of a lot of tough situations on Friday and I don't think Moyer will be able to do the same. Whenever the third best ERA pitcher in the leagues team is an underdog it is usually a good idea to take that team and I like Garland and the Padres in this one.

San Diego +130

Tampa Bay Rays -123 at JAMAICA > 14h.

On Saturday the free play MLB play is on the Tampa Bay Rays. Game 977 at 8:05 eastern. Tampa is coming off a tough loss last night 9-6 in Texas. However they are 21-7 on the road and 7-3 as a road favorite in this range. Texas is still just 5-12 vs winning teams. For system purposes we want to play on road favorites off a road dog loss if the total was 10 or higher both teams scored 5 or more runs and our team left 10 or more men left on base. These road favs have cashed 8 of the last 9 times. In the pitching department Texas has T. Hunter making his first start of the year. This is a tough spot to make his first one against a solid Tampa lineup. The Rays counter with J. Shields tonight. Shields has been much better in road starts this season winning 4 of 5 with a sterling 3.34 era. He has also been good vs the Rangers cashing 3 of his 4 teams starts. Look for Tampa to take game 2 tonight.Dont miss the BIG 14-1 MLB Non Divisional Game of the month or the 90% MLB totals system. Belmont selections included in the package. For the free play take the Tampa Bay Rays. RV






Steve Merril

Los Angeles Angels vs. Seattle Mariners Total 7½ ov-110

FREE PLAY

A smoking hot Angels’ offense continues their series in Seattle against the Mariners on Saturday afternoon. LAA has scored five runs or more in three straight and six of their last seven games. Now they'll get a crack at Ryan Rowland-Smith making a spot start instead of Doug Fister. He went 0-4 with a 7.62 ERA as a starter allowing 10 home runs. Rowland-Smith will be on a pitch count between 75 and 90 meaning the bullpen will be a factor. Hideki Matsui (3-8), Torii Hunter (3-7), Erick Aybar (2-6), Howard Kendrick (3-6), Maicer Izturis (2-4), Robb Quinlan (1-3), Reggie Willits (2-3) and Mike Napoli (1-1) all hit the Mariners starter well.

Ervin Santana is an inconsistent pitcher. He's 5-3 with a 3.43 ERA in 11 starts. The righty got touched up for five runs and 10 hits in 6.7 innings the last time he was in Seattle this season. Overall, Santana is 6-4 with a 4.35 ERA in 16 starts against Seattle. Ichiro (17-50), Milton Bradley (6-14), Josh Wilson (5-9), Mike Sweeney (2-3), Rob Johnson (1-3) and Matt Tuiasosopo (1-3) all have good numbers vs. Santana. Seattle's offense is a bit better at home hitting nearly .250. The Angels pen has an ERA around 6.00 on the road going 1-4 this season.




Jim Feist

Cleveland Indians +155
Take: (972) CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Reason: The White Sox continue to disappoint, with a losing record both home and away. The offense is 10th in runs scored in the AL and 10th in on base percentage. Starter Jake Peavy has been awful, with a 6.23 ERA. In his last three starts he has an 8.83 ERA. Cleveland righty Mitch Talbot is 6-4 with an impressive 3.78 ERA and in 16 career innings against these White Sox he's 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA. Play the Indians.
